A History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict is a comprehensive and analytical work that provides a balanced and impartial overview of this centuries-old struggle. The book takes a clear and chronological approach to the complex subject, placing events in the context of their longer-term histories. Ian J. Bickerton and Carla L. Klausner, the authors, examine the issues and themes that have characterized and defined the conflict throughout its history, bringing the coverage up to date with a twenty-first-century perspective.

The book begins in the nineteenth century and covers significant events such as the British Mandate, World War II, and the proclamation of the state of Israel. It explores the widening and deepening conflict, as well as attempts at a peace process. The book also discusses the impacts of 9/11 and the Arab Spring, and events up to the end of 2021.

In a completely revised Conclusion, the authors examine how we interpret the startling, rapidly changing, and somewhat unpredictable events of the last five years. The book is extensively illustrated with numerous photographs, updated maps, tables, and chronologies for each chapter. It also includes extensive relevant and up-to-date documentary sources, further reading, and a glossary of key terms.

A History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict is an ideal textbook for all students of the history of the modern Middle East. It provides a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the conflict, its historical context, and its ongoing implications.
